No, not since 05/2022. Could it be coming from the filter?Your oil filter is directly above that. Oil change lately?
Could be. Need to take a closer look to see if you can tell where it is coming from.No, not since 05/2022. Could it be coming from the filter?
Good call. I always had a loose filter when the dealership changed my oil. Started doing it myself and solved the problem!I’m gonna try to tighten the filter when I get home today. I found a post on a different forum where the filter had rattled loose and was dripping oil from the same place as mine. I am going on 9 months without an oil change. I have a company car, so luckily this isn’t my dd.
Yep, I always tell people, if you have somebody do an oil change, please check it BEFORE you leave, just in case.Good call. I always had a loose filter when the dealership changed my oil. Started doing it myself and solved the problem!
I only do my changes myself. Nowadays finding anyone that does anything 100% properly is extremely difficult! One thing for sure is it takes more than ten minutes to fully drain. Then I make sure I'm using a clean funnel; do they? And I'm super careful about not under or over tightening the filter. OCD? I guess I am but I never have a problem.Good call.

I've never had the double-gasket problem, but it's certainly something I look for when I remove the filter.I only do my changes myself.

Ever had an oil filter gasket stick to the vehicle and therefore have two gaskets when new filter is installed? I've seen it happen and talk about leaks! So I always make sure the gasket came off with the filter.
That is my point exactly. I invest in new tools and the knowledge of learning when I have to do new maintenance. That way I am good going forward. No one will care as much about my vehicles as I do.This is why I perform my own oil changes. I'm glad to know the OP found the issue and it's resolved.
For some of us, doing it ourselves is just not a practical option. The picture says it all keeping in mind that I don't have a heated place to work and the temperature yesterday morning was -4F. My strategy is to find a shop I trust and stick with them. Even for those of you with the skills and the time to fix things yourself, sooner or later you will need a pro at a shop. If you can't trust said shopwith an oil change, how can you trust them with anything else? My theory is I'll try them out with small stuff that I can check myself after to get an indication of how trustworthy they are. Finally, the only screwed up oil change i ever had was the first one I did myself and that was 43 years ago. Cran,Ed the filter down too tight causing it to leak.That is my point exactly.

I have never ran the wheel off, had a couple your feet would get wet in the rain , but that was old Japanese iron. my 2014 is about 80,000Km, about 50,000miles; Wife's 2008 honda AWD Honda CRV is about the same.I wish that I could go that long between oil changes and not put so many miles on my truck.
Almost 135k in just shy of 5-1/2 years. Gonna keep her 'til the wheels fall off.
